Re: You Know Your Opponent Never Bluffs
The fact one person was a rich jerk and the other was a very good hardworking man probably wouldn't change the situation for me...What might change the situation is if he seemed to have an unbeatable game without the use of a bluff..if that was the case then no action is required by me...and that is a possibility...

I snatch waiters tips off tables when I walk out of a restaurant too, sure its angle-shooting, but its part of the game. If they want their tips, they have to be quicker than me. I know it isnt a perfect analogy, but thats the way i see it. [/ QUOTE ] Snatching tips is part of what game exactly?

Re: You Know Your Opponent Never Bluffs
[ QUOTE ]
Would you guys answer differently in situation A than in situation B? A) He is hideously wealthy, having acquired the wealth by inheritance, his father having stolen the money, literally, from orphan's mouhs. He is known far and wide as a selfish and uncharitable soul. B) He is a working man, plying the trade at which he is most skilled, in order to feed, clothe, and educate his family. He is a very charitable man as well. [/ QUOTE ] I would andy, but subjective ethical evaluations almost always have magnitude to them. And action can (and should!) be seen as worse as the circumstances change, even if the action is much the same. I also think people have some questions confused. When discussing this question people seem to discuss three separate questions. 1.) Is it wrong? 2.) How wrong is it? 3.) Will I do it? And to further confuse the issue, the original question reads 'Should you do it?' which causes further mixing up in terms (ie, is it a fundamental ethical question, a question of your personal choice in the matter, a question of legal issues...it is hard to tell from the phrasing).

Re: You Know Your Opponent Never Bluffs
It's not really analogous because with people who have the inherent disadvantage you can assume they know about it or at least should know about it and choose to play anyways.
What you should be comparing this to is the people who continue to show you their hole cards after you warn them.
